[edit] Biographical Information
George Myers was a weak-hitting catcher who earned his keep as a backstop. When he came up in 1884, he was able to play the position well enough that he freed up good-hitting Jack Rowe to move from catcher to shortstop the next year. Myers did have one year when he hit decently, in 1888 when he hit .238 on a team that hit .238.
He was born and died in Buffalo, NY, where he also broke into the majors.
